TGIF v.33

A high of the week was getting the house ridiculously tidy and clean. I know – that makes me sound like a complete adult, but it’s true. The house has never been cleaner!

Also, Norah turned 11 months old on Monday and I’m just in awe of how fast she’s grown. Feeling all the feels over here, for sure!

A low of the week was a rotten night of sleep for everyone in the house Tuesday night.

An internet find I loved was not really a find, but I was curious to know how far we walked when we were down in Vancouver visiting my brother so I mapped it out on Google Maps. Excluding the Aquabus ride over to Granville Island, we walked nearly 6kms! No wonder why my feet hurt. (Crappy walking shoes didn’t help.)

The best money I spent was $10 on a new pair of shoes for Norah. They were originally $18 but between a sale and a coupon I practically stole them!

My favourite Isla and/or Norah moment was letting them run wild at an indoor playground on Thursday! We met up with some moms who I know from my June 2015 baby group and kids and the girls both had a blast.

Cue meltdowns in 3, 2, 1 …

The song that has been stuck in my head is Selena Gomez’s “Hands to Myself.” WHO AM I? I feel like I’ve reverted back to being a preteen with my taste in music these days.

My plans for the weekend are taking Isla to her last dance class before her big year-end recital on Saturday and doing the Blackwell Dairy Race on Sunday! Kyle’s doing the 15km race and the girls and I will be doing the 3km Fun Run! Isla’s looking forward to racing ;) I also have slo-pitch Sunday evening after taking a 2 week break. I’m hoping my quads have recovered finally from the Boogie the Bridge and I can actually run during ball. We’ll see!
